Roberto Firmino could hand Liverpool a late injury boost as they seek to finalise their place in next season's Champions League.

The Brazilian missed the 4-0 win against West Ham on Sunday with a muscle problem.

But despite not yet returning to team training, Jurgen Klopp is hopeful of the forward being available for their crunch clash with Middlesbrough on Sunday, with Firmino set to undergo a fitness test on Saturday.

“It is very positive,” Klopp said. “We could not decide until now, feels good.

“He was not part of team training but that's not a problem after this long season. We will make a final test tomorrow.

“At this stage I'd rather say yes than maybe.”

Firmino has missed sessions at Melwood over the past month as his manager has sought to manage his fitness after a long season.

After feeling an issue following the draw with Southampton on May 7 however, the former Hoffenheim man did not make the trip to the London Stadium.

Daniel Sturridge shone in his absence but Klopp will hope to have one of his most important players at his disposal against the relegated Boro.
